Designed by young people, for young people, Upside is a Barnardo´s website which is free, safe and confidential, supporting the emotional wellbeing and mental health needs for those aged between 11-18, living in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

With the increase in reported incidents of mental ill-health in young people, a useful resource to signpost older teenagers to is the website Students Against Depression. The site offers information and resources validated by health professionals alongside tips and advice from students who have experienced it all themselves.

Students against Depression offers resources young people need to find a way forward from stress, low mood, depression or suicidal thinking.
